Microsoft Device Emulator

The Microsoft Device Emulator is a standalone version of the same ARM based Device Emulator that is shipped as part of Visual Studio 2005.
The standalone emulator is intended for situations when you want to demonstrate or test your application on a computer that does not have Visual Studio 2005 installed.
In addition, we are offering the Windows Mobile 5.0 MSFP operating system images that you can use with the Device Emulator.
Here are some key features of "Microsoft Device Emulator":
· Runs code compiled for ARM processors rather than for x86 processors. In most cases, you can run the same binaries on the emulator as you do on the device.
· Supports synchronizing with ActiveSync. You can use the Device Emulator with a full ActiveSync partnership. This feature allows you to debug applications that are syncing, or be able to use real synchronized data from within the Device Emulator.
· Provides support for more development environments. The emulator has been tested for developing and debugging applications with Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio .NET 2003, and with eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (eVC4) SP4, all using ActiveSync. No crossover serial cable is required.
· The Device Emulator supports GAPI. You can write and debug GAPI games on the Device Emulator and expect them to work.
